Nevermind that, this round is done.
 
I am seriously shocked guys. I happen to enjoy Baby Snakes. Sure it was a pointless release, but hey the songs are good.
 
Oh well, new round up right away!

Something tells me that that won't suffice as a good enough answer. Now tell me, what's so bad about Broadway the Hard Way?

Once again no In New York, not like I would've voted for it anyway.Cry

Don't be such a baby with Broadway, you never even explained why you didn't like it.Wink

Personally, my least favorite here is You Are What You Is (or as I like to call it You Are What You Isn't).Tongue

^ the UMRK (Utility Muffin Research Kitchen) had a mobile recording unit, unless I'm much mistaken.

Have a look here: http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/Broadway_The_Hard_Way.html

The page lists in detail where the different songs were recorded. Of course they were later mixed in his headquarters in Hollywood.

Sorry about dragging this on, but to quote that album notes...
 
"All selections produced, arranged and conducted Frank Zappa, engineered by Bob Stone and Harry Adronis at UMRK Hollywood"

It's one of his best live albums ... of course only if you like a big band sound and his political humor!

The only reason for me to vote for it would be because it's not a studio album.Tongue

My vote: Baby Snakes.
 
Murder By Numbers is the only live track?
